Today we have finally launched Mobilism's new design. Mobilism2.0 is a completely redesigned version of the site, featuring a sleeker and more minimalistic look, a more modern approach to how we believe forums should look. It also includes performance improvements that will make the site noticeably faster at peak times.
Along with the cosmetic changes come several new features:
- the new site scales depending on your resolution. If you access the site from your mobile device, it will remove or limit certain elements to fit on your screen. Try dragging your browser's window, you'll notice the forum reacting and scaling elements down to accommodate smaller screens.
- Top 10 topics now working for every forum. If you're in a category, it's top 10 topics will display, rather than just the whole section's.
- Recent Reviews from the eBook section's Review Team in lower right hand corner. For non-forum pages or forums without topics, the list of Top Topics is replaced with Recent Contests from our Contests section
- Mobilism's twitter feed integrated, which we'll start using more now (follow us at @mobilism_org)
- view which users are online in the forum you're in, not just which users are online
Although we did our best to test the new site prior to launching, we still expect there to be some bugs and room for improvement. If you see anything you don't like or that seems to not be working like it should, please post here. We will likely also be making an alternative darker skin shortly. Any feedback is always appreciated, whether positive or negative.
If for whatever reason you don't like the new design you can revert to the old by going Here and selecting "Classic" where it says "My board style:".
